The grudges within the Death Nest surged into the sky. Black mist churned as chilling winds gusted, causing the vegetation to sway and producing ghost-like wails.
The Death Nest was divided into three zones. The first zone could threaten Saint Rulers. Most of the vengeful spirits that appeared there were Saint Rulers, with a few at the level of the Holy Emperor from time to time. Heaven Saint Masters had a slim chance of surviving there, and even Saint Rulers had a chance of dying. The second zone was where Holy Emperor vengeful spirits gathered. There was an extremely small chance for Holy Emperor vengeful spirits to appear there. Only Holy Emperor experts could rampage through there.
The third zone was the most terrifying place in the Death Nest because it was where the Holy Emperor's corpse was buried. It was the home of the Holy Emperor's vengeful spirits. It was extremely terrifying, and even Great Perfection Holy Emperor experts needed to be careful in the third zone.
Although the Holy Emperor's vengeful spirits were condensed from the grudges of the dead and no longer possessed the strength they possessed when they were alive, they were still not easy to deal with. They were extremely powerful.
Jianchen, Tie Ta, and Black Fish moved through the Death Nest, directly making their way to the depths. Along the way, they came across many ghostly faces formed from the grudges of the dead. The chilling presence that invaded their bodies appeared frequently as well, but it was unable to stop Jianchen, Tie Ta, and Hei Yu.
After traveling several dozen kilometers, a blurry figure condensed from black mist appeared several hundred meters away from Jianchen, Tie Ta, and Hei Yu.
It sat there as it breathed in and out the grudges of the dead in the surroundings. It absorbed the essence from the ground to cultivate. The essence came from the ground that had been dyed red by the blood of countless emperors.
Jianchen, Hei Yu, and Hei Yu stopped. They stared at the vengeful spirit from several hundred meters away. After staring at it for a while, Tie Ta's deep voice rang out, "That vengeful spirit's strength has already reached the level of the Holy Emperor. I never thought that we'd come across such a powerful vengeful spirit in the first zone so soon. If other Saint Rulers encountered this vengeful spirit, it would probably be very difficult for them to survive."
"Looks like the vengeful spirit is cultivating here. That's unbelievable. Since they're condensed from the grudges of the dead, they can actually cultivate. Don't tell me they already possess their own consciousness?" Jianchen was amazed. He found what he was seeing rather unbelievable.
In the next moment, Jianchen used the Illusory Flash, quickly flying toward the Holy Emperor's vengeful spirit several hundred meters away. At the same time, the cultivating vengeful spirit discovered Jianchen as well. It suddenly sat up on the boulder. It was completely condensed from the black mist and the grudges of the dead, so its body seemed rather illusionary.
The vengeful spirit's appearance was blurry. It seemed like a human without any facial features. It turned its head in Jianchen's direction and immediately drifted toward Jianchen as a cloud of black mist. It moved extremely quickly.
Although the vengeful spirit possessed the strength of a Holy Emperor, it was not as powerful as a Holy Emperor. Jianchen engaged in a great battle with the vengeful spirit. At the same time, he began to study the vengeful spirit that knew how to cultivate.
A while later, Jianchen finally confirmed that the vengeful spirits did not possess their own consciousness. Their cultivation was completely based on instinct, which allowed him to let out a sigh of relief. If the vengeful spirits all possessed their own consciousness, it would be far too terrifying. After all, there were many Holy Emperor's vengeful spirits in the third zone of the Death Nest.
Jianchen hacked the vengeful spirit to pieces with his Emperor Armament, turning it back into black mist. However, the next moment, it condensed again and continued to battle with Jianchen. The suffocating cold presence and the grudges of the dead turned into a terrifying attack. The cold presence invaded Jianchen's body in an attempt to devour Jianchen's vitality while the grudges of the dead charged toward Jianchen's soul. However, it was unable to affect him at all.
The vengeful spirits were extremely difficult to kill. They were condensed from the grudges of the dead, so they did not possess life or the weakness of a soul like humans. Without any exaggeration, the vengeful spirits were unkillable existences. The only way to break free from them was to constantly kill them and exhaust their energy. Once they ran out of energy, they would turn back into a part of the black mist in the Death Nest.
Jianchen's gaze was sharp. He was emotionless as he killed the vengeful spirit time and time again with his Emperor Armament. Only after killing the vengeful spirit over a dozen times did he finally exhaust its energy, turning it back into black mist and fusing with the surroundings.
"Jianchen, the energy you use is different from ordinary energy. Using this energy to deal with the vengeful spirits will speed up their deaths. If other Holy Emperor experts encountered the vengeful spirit, they would probably struggle to deal with it in such a short amount of time," said Black Fish. He currently stood with Tie Ta with his hands behind his back.
Jianchen sank into his thoughts before stowing the Emperor Armament away. He continued on his way with Black Fish and the others.
There were very few vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor in the first zone of the Death Nest. Most of them were Saint Rulers. Jianchen, Hei Yu, and Tie Ta did not come across any vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor for the rest of their journey. After traveling several thousand kilometers, they finally passed through the first zone and entered the second zone.
The cold presence and the grudges of the dead were ten times more powerful than the first zone. The cold presence ate away at their bodies while the grudges invaded their souls, forcing Jianchen, Hei Yu, and Tie Ta to circulate their energy to resist. Jianchen had already fused a small portion of the Chaotic Body into his body, allowing him to unleash a portion of the terrifying defense of the Chaotic Body.
A faint layer of golden light appeared around Tie Ta as well, keeping the cold presence and grudges of the dead at bay. Even Black Fish began to use his own energy to resist.
Jianchen, Hei Yu, and Tie Ta were rather surprised when they came to the second zone for the first time. Just the Yin Qi and grudges of the dead were enough for a Holy Emperor to take them seriously, which made them sigh in amazement at how terrifying the Death Nest was.
Some bones and fragments of weapons began to appear in the second zone. The bones all bore the marks of time, clearly having existed for countless years. The fragments of weapons were all forged from extremely precious materials, but they had already been invaded by the Yin Qi and grudges of the dead, so they were filled with a demonic nature. They were not suitable for a second use.
"This is the bone of a dragon expert." Suddenly, Black Fish stared at a piece of bone the size of a person nearby. His voice was filled with shock.
With that, Jianchen and Tie Ta both forgot about it. They only saw that it was a piece of bone from an unknown location. It was completely red, as if it had been dyed red by blood.
"The dragon clan vanished during the ancient times. It's been a million years since then. This piece of bone was clearly left behind before the dragon clan vanished. Logically speaking, it should have turned to dust long ago after so much time has passed. How could it still exist today and be so well-preserved?" Black Fish said with a heavy voice. He was filled with disbelief.
…
"This piece of bone is already filled with Yin Qi and grudges. Is it because of these two powers that the bone remains so well preserved after a million years?" Jianchen guessed.
Black Fish thought about it carefully and said, "That should be the case. If that's the case, doesn't that mean there are still many bones left behind from the ancient times in the Death Nest?"
